The Ionia Rotary Club hosts its annual Uncle Sam Jam from 6-10 p.m. Wednesday on "the point" lawn, between Independent Bank and Michigan One Community Credit Union, across from the Ionia Free Fair grounds.

In case of rain, both the Uncle Sam Jam and the fireworks will be rescheduled for Sunday.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy hot dogs and hamburgers, water, soda and beer – all available for purchase – plus music provided by the live band Out of the Blue. Kids can run around and play and adults can stretch out until the city's fireworks at the fairgrounds begin at dusk.

Parking also is available for a fee, and glow-in-the-dark bracelets will be sold.

The Uncle Sam Jam is a fundraiser for Rotary projects, including a public schools scholarships fund.
